CHAPTER I. 

Truth is convincing* and will live without 
argument. Truth explains, convinces, and

Law of ' 

Truth. thought, composes and conveys it. 

4 'There is no language capable of conveying 
the different variations of thought," that 
touches the mind of man, but to each accord- 
ing to his light, may the best of this be made. 
Woman is not educated up to Drummond's 
"Natural Law" and we would not have him 
dissect her inward law that is inspired and 
expressed in the Persian Proverb: 

"To know that we know, that which we 
know, and to know that we do not know, that 
which we do not know, is the true knowledge 
for man and woman." 



ETHICS OF 



Capable should be both in their own 
Knowledge. }[ nc f development and learning*. 

In other words, man ran not put on woman's 
form or clothing intellectually or spiritually, 
neither can woman put on the man's apparel 
or form of being", reasoning- or physique. Had 
woman attempted years ag-o to answer physi- 
cians and others on pre-natal influences, she 
might have excited ridicule, but now timid 
woman may think, and without doubt know it 
is too soon for man to know anything- about 
these influences, as "All things are not made 
new." 

The law "he would not do away with" is 
Inward ^ 1C li& nt: f° r woman's understand- 

L:iu - ing, which is, that kk God or Love is 

the self subsisting power of the universe." 
Swedenborg in making this statement did not 
recognize woman as a medium to develope 
this power. Not knowing any woman, yet he 
was inspired to give the hope of perfect con- 
jugal felicity; though God required man's 
help to make the first woman, in Second Gen- 
esis. In First Genesis, he creates "male and 



LIFE AND WOMAN. 



female," "created he them good." In the 
second Eve is rounded by the sleep of 
Adam, but the second construction of Eve is 
no better than the first. In fact confusion 
takes you when you commence the second 
chapter at the fourth verse, and we wonder if 
inspired good or God is not the first, and in- 
Hamiet's spired evil or man that named sin is 
piay. no j- the second. For conceiving it 

"Hamlet like the result of his own wrong and 
forced cause, in the upshot purposes mistook 
fall'n on the inventor's head." 

Man has made the law, but woman brought 
man, genius and king, into the world. She 
is the camera obscura that perfects the love- 
light of genius, a something diviner than we 
know, that distinguishes one being from the 
common herd. The husband or some love is 
her ideal of perfection; seriously they are 
the bone, dust or rib of which she makes a 
breathing soul of love. Genius, like the rare 
orchid has its own divinity or semblance, un- 
like those found in beaten paths, but the

times. The savage that must not

knowledge <>f the form of law does not bear 

lale misers. The law of the Jew will not 

permit man to take life or go to war, but as 

they lose sight of the form of love's law evils 

increase with this people. As vet few Jewish 

criminals are found in our penitentiaries.

is the morphine habit and drunkenness though 
environment may incite in her children their 
use. Physical infirmities, as phthisis, pulmo- 
naries and scrofula are carried by her. 
Loatshome diseases contracted will leave their 
impress upon children born the three years 
following- its contraction. 

The inward parts of many men and women 
today are litterally burning out physically and 
morally. Like Mackbeths, they are ignorant 
; that a drop of blood could be so great. Sin 
bearing, child bearing and child rearing, has 
been too much for woman; she would have 
cause and effect, shared. Parents deny their di- 
vinity when they bring children into the world 
with instincts not above the beast, We have 
sat at the right hand of the preacher with 
long amens to the assersions of irresponsibility 
in Christ. Christ made note ' of death by 
crucifiction in saying, "it needs must be I 
should die and rise from the dead, that ye

might live again." A knowledge of perfection 

of the law tb.it never had been known up to 

tliis time. His love in birth, life and death 
lived the "thou shalt nots" or love for us. 

Man's physical suffering is so meagre that 

death seems greater than life.

CHAPTER XL 
Relieve woman of the fear of sin bearing 
and she will become more capable, for "con- 
science makes cowards" lacking- in self-assur- 
ance. Paracelsus states "like is cured by 
like, not contraries by contraries." This fun- 
damental principle developes facts, not theories 
that run parallel with the inward or natural 
law regardless of the Sanhedrim or St. Jerome. 
Froebel was going to teach the German 
mother to reason "as they were always doing* 
the right thing without knowing it, " Trilby 
did not conceive or subject her being to moral 
criticism until love had attuned her senses to 
an ideal of perfection wrapped up in Little 
Bille. 

Law made I* was Bacon that made plain con- 

piain. traries, and like when he said "nup- 

tial love maketh mankind, friendly love

perfectith it. but wanton love corrupteth and 
embaseth it." 

SHAKESPEARE ILLUSTRATIONS. 

To strengthen the above comparisons take 
the lives of the two brothers in King* Lear, 
Edward the bastard, and son of Gloster. 
(tLOstkk "His breeding- hasbeenat my charge. 
But I have a son by order of law, some years 
elder than this, who yet is no dearer, though 
this knave came somewhat saucily to the 
world." and the whore-son must be acknowl- 
edged. Edmund, soliloquizing- "Why bastard 
when my dimensions are as well compact, my 
mind as generous and my shape as true as 
honest madam's issue.'" Base, base! Who in

Edmund — "An admirable evasion of whore-

13 LIFE AND WOMAN 

Urso Major, so it follows I am rough and 
leacherous. I should have been that I am 
had the maidenliest star in the firmament 
twinkled on my bastardizing*." 

The divinity of the mother's first son is 
appreciated by Gloster, when he says, "O, 
Edgar, the food of thy abused father's wrath; 
might I but live to see thee in my touch I'd 
say I had eyes again." Edgar in admonish- 
ing Edmund tells him, "The dark and vicious 
place where thee he got cost him his eyes." 
Edmund — 4, Thou hast spoken right 'tis true; 
the wheel is come full circle, I pant for life, 
some good I mean to do despite my own 
nature." 

The above is a glimmer of light on genius, 
and a degenerate. Shakespeare portrays the 
unchangible law of life and love. The old 
testament writers never heralded a genius or 
leader that they did not state the mothers 
were loved by the husband. Research will 
not discover the destroyers thus mentioned. 
In this Bible biography the reader can see plain-

mighty hunter, because he did eat of his veni- 
son, these selfish motives did not prompt Re- 
becka when she arranged to g-ive the birth-

Portion. 'p^e a bove mentioned children were 
the first born. Miriam, the sweet singer of 
Isreal, Moses and Aaron were the children of 
God fearing- parents. 

David loved Bathsheba and this love bore 
Solomon, the second child. The death of a 
preceeding child seems to cement and seal the 
bond, as parents of Lincoln and others were 
united, by the sorrows of love. As David had 
killed so many he was told his son Solomon 
should build the temple. 

These stories of kings are more beautiful 
than any of those in Arabian _ nights^ for be- 
hind them may be seen divinity instead of some 
imaginary Banshee. 

The Britanica will aid in holding the mir- 
ror up to nature, though it cites genius a father 
but no mother many times. Into the world 
thus came Burns by Carlyle. "Carlyle with 
his lantern of intellect could see a man with- 



B rHICE 



out his clothes," bu1 he makes a grierious mis- 
take when be sees genius without a mother. 
In his biography of Burns, in the Britanica, 
be makes the concise statement that "Burns 
was fortunate in his father " We admit this, 
though aware that be saw with remorse the 
dead wife's dei otion too late. We of the Nine- 
teenth century and X-Rav ran asserl 
that we see man without his skin. 
Our ag'e too, will permit us to see Burns for- 
tunate in being- the first born of a loving-, im- 
aginative, possibly ignorant, mother. 

McCauley had no mother, according- to this 
Topsy history of the Britanica. Biographies 
record little of many mothers, but if grnius 
was their offspring a husband's g-oodness and 
love inspired its divinity. This self-subsisting 
power that may quicken all human hearts, a 
power that no animal on earth or waters of 
the earth have ever transmitted.

physician's prizes. 

The history of Napolian is used by physi- 
cians to show the power of the mother's 
mentallity and influence before birth of a 
ehild. That perfect man's last thought, 4i Be- 
hold thy mother." will serve here, but in this 
case to behold the mother you may see the 
father of great Napolian. 

Letitia Romiline was very beautiful and 
had great determination of character. She 
shared with her husband the perils of the 
civil war in Corsica previous to the birth of 
the Emperor, but history not of the physi- 
cians states this marriage was not considered 
with favor by the Romilines, but owing to 
the ardor of the couple the marriage was 
sanctioned. The ten living children of this 
loved mother were talented and some were 






rery beautiful; th( liters were the equa 

it' not the superiors of their time. One i 
of the thirteen children was a noted natural- 
ist. If Napolean's father had d< a war- 
rior or destroyer, this 6 picture bj 
banished Hugo might have been an ideal to 
love instead of fear. This is the 
Herit ly illustration cited where mili- 
tary genius was inherited. 

It seems if wars are necessary, there have 
been plenty for those times. Lincoln said 
''War opened the way for (the destroy al of) 
every dormant viper hidden". 

Another illustration used is Mozart's mo- 
ther, who enjoyed music previous to his 
birth, but she was a great admirer of 
her husband, a Jew that loved and respected 
a wife. This family was a harmonius one, 
the sister playing 1 very nearly as v - the 

brother. Byron is said to inherit his fickle- 
ness and temper from his mother. His mother 
was loved for a short time by his fickle father 
who boasted that three generations of Byrons 
had left their wives. The fickleness and gen- 



LIFE AND WOMAN. 19 



ius of her first born is traced to the cause of 
this woman's love and fear. Very similar 
but an entirely different effect was developed 
hy the Byronic high tempered mother, in her 
first son, John Keplar the great astronomer, 
an amiable, loving" being*. The mother's sin 
was apparent only while she lived to torment 
his meek spirit. Her sin died with her, the 
father's love inspired in this woman generat- 
ing this great genius. 

There is a French saying that -'love is the 
ego of two," but it should be love is the divin- 
ity or g-enius and harmony of two, an unselfish 
acknowledgement of a nature better than our 
own. The old law of Leviticus XII and 
Luke, that the first child should be holy, has 
„,. T not been a vain law. The Virgin

Leornada DaVinci, the great universal genius, 
with the capacity to discover and explore along 
the whole range of physics, sciences and arts, 
is a greater exponent of love as a better birth- 



BTHI4 



■ i. than wisdom or wealth. Da Vinci was 
the illegitimate son of a lawyer who loved a 
p asam woman. Later in life he married 
other educated woman who bore him eleven 
children. All these children were narrow. 
bigoted misers, when compared with Da Vinci, 
the artist. The anxiety and care of his mo- 
ther, and his magnanimity in relation to the 
inheritance left by his father attests the sub- 
limity of this great heart. History states he 
was an Appolo of grace, depicting strength in 
every rounded curve of his being, with the 
warm blood of peasant nature's life in cheek 
and beautiful mouth, his physique like his 
work and thought, far above the people. He 
got his best lights and shadows, probably from 
them in a casual meeting at the palace steps 
where he amused with such light wit that 
made them feel a friend indeed. Life was 
broad to him and he used all of her natural 
wealth. One of his maxims was "poor indeed 
is he of many wants;" a suitable one for gold 
basis and these tin. 

It does not occur that the first child of man 



UFE AND WOMAN 21 

is capable, but the first child of a harmonious 
marriage is never a decadent. Solomon loved 
many women, Brigham Young's wives were 
many, but their children were incapable. From 
these facts it appears that man should love 
only one woman and we might infer the first 
child should be the last. Children of a love* 
less marriage are incapable they have not one 
tangible thought. They do not draw of har- 
monize; every thing is out of sight, but par- 
ents of affinity will adapt their children to 
humble circumstances and happiness. Two 
cases have been noticed where the fitst child 
was not beautiful. Madame De Steal, grand 
child of a rector, and Socrates, the divine pa- 
gan. In acknowledging his homely physique, 
he said he would make his being so 
beautiful that his form would take on new 
beauties like those developed by his mother as 
midwife. That there is divine love must not 
be doubted, for Mary the Virgin conceived it. 
This was acknowledged by the beloved physi- 
cian, Luke. The environment of Mary and 
Elizabeth in the hill country was another aid

Any man that lives by wit, speculating on 

and not considering the divinity of man com-

artisan was far above the man that speculated 
on the supposed lack of divinity in his fellow 
man. One of the heroes of Homer's time 
created, with his minds eye, and performed 
with his body the necessary labor that build- 
ed his own palace, another designed and 
carved his own bed; these men were honored 
above all others. Humanity becomes incap-

a spiritualist but as a divine genius. Spirit-

evil spirits and decadents. He said a man 
should be well rounded on all subjects and not 
pursue only one phase of divinity or nature.

Some Bed from their country on account of

was a stickler on creed and rights of woman, 
but he inspired a love and spirit in his wife 
that was the light of that broader spirit of the

evil intent and better success.

ther was continuously on the march with his 
regiment from England to Ireland, and from 
one part of Ireland to another, his mother 
illustrated the truth that love is not love that

will admit this genius, though not the first 
child. In fact all genius is the creature of

It has been a devious route for the reader (if 
he has arrived here) to learn that all good or

PREFACE. 

The experience of woman's labor, not spec- 
ulation or discourse should be the guarantee 
for this knowledge. 

Published subject to time's perfecting 
changes. This short story of a few long lives 
may contain only the beautiful words and 
truths of the ages, but children will ever ques- 
tion, and for those that see the times; "the 
worst times and the best times " not of 1776 
without the written law of the beginning, 
this effort is made to reveal a system which 
Robinson Crusoe like, discovers a peaceful 

cheap habitation, relieving chaotic mind 

Perscription. f rotn unrest while developing the 
faith in that best of everything that tends up- 
ward. For back of all genius or energy is love 
in some form. Sir Astley Cooper advised all 
students to look for themselves, as no opin- 
ion or theories can interfere with information 
acquired in dissecting? That the desired wo- 
man readers may not criticise before they as- 
similate the contents. I would that they take 



the same advice that was given to writers of 
books. "Ue but in tunc with yourself. Madam, 
it is no matter how high <>r how low you take 

it." To woman this sort of criticism will be 
difficult for their needs must have something- 
before, beside or behind, in the future, past 
or present that weakens them in true, womanly 
wit and judgment, 

To appear in the form of books of to-day 
is very difficult, I find that Jean Valjean should 
have eome under organizations and parts of 
my first book (printed six weeks ago,) should 
have been elsewhere? Through aid of the 
paste pot, pages have been torn from, and 
placed in regular order that it might appear 
(though an impossibility to even a domesti- 
cated biped) the thoughts eame all atone sit- 
ting. Bight years have passed since Shake- 
speare's illustrations were conceived and the 
others have developed in Time's research. 
Should not dare put it upon that public that a 
woman can not dam , being so nearly related, 
if I had not noticed they were coming- our way, 
toward we Irish, (Sterne and myself.) He 
could write chapters in six lines; where-as I 
write and discard chapters before writing* six 
lines worth reading. Never man wrote of 
things so true as they come, anything-, how- 



ever small of a family nature from the me- 
tropolis hobby-horses and hinges to Yoric's 
sermon where he cites David whose conscience 
smote him for cutting* Saul's robe, but had no 
qualms of conscience when his beloved servant 
Uriah was killed for his cause. Showing* that 
the written law is guide to conscience. In 
fact everything is shown in its right light and 
by its right name, and that makes me think 
that a few chapters I have named need no 
title. 

The name, (given too soon,) as well as dedi- 
cation, appeared so large for a small writer of 
a small book, that I thought to go with- 
out a preface, as the first book would likely 
furnish entertainment, for gossip about peo- 
ple they have known never becomes irksome 
to the truly great. But now that they are to 
consider people they may desire not to know, 
an introduction or preface from the author as 
voucher for incoming crowd is absolutely 
necessary for few know that "a bad man or 
woman can not harm a better."— aromaZ. 



N. B. — Part of the fourth generation was 



& % 



carried to the club; (that great body that im- 
bibes all our surplus energy.) The .energy 
appeared to fall like lead on some, .thought 



W( ,ni. their own man was being mutilated 

Hettia and killed while making- arrange- 

ments for a greater new woman. Evidently 
something was wrong, for formal compliments 

do not come from the heart, but I swear bj 
"Krnulphus" that book "you can not swear 
out of" that all and every man is as great at 

the end of the pamphlet as divinity made 
him in the beginning. No pamphlet can hold 
a larger man, but man in this form should not 
he taken to clubs, for you are likely to weaken 
more life than you regenerate. Only the in- 
dividual may be benefitted by this form, 
for many measure the work of Time's eterni- 
tv by the small dark spot belonging to the eye 
which is nothing- without light. Each 
woman of club or home can generate, 
alone, her own light, and in this individual's 
judgement we base our faith. The crowd will 
neither note or relish my novels for my 
heroines are as insipid as fish without salt 
and my heroes, are as reeds shaken by every 
woman's breath. We would have life, may 
the fates for fend me; my vocabulary is too 
small I must have words, simple words, only 
words with one spark of life to each word.

THE FOURTH GENERATION. 



The Law Cites Pour Generations of Evil Not 
Six or Eight. 



CHAPTER I. 

''There is a generation. " — 
Prov. xxx: 11-14. 

Many desire knowledge of the law without 
the aid of the utivariable scriptures but the 
natural law as taught through history is 
shorn of its strength and system by the cull- 
ing of the fittest survival and indifferent time's 
eyes. But generated life generating life, is 
taught better through biography, than history 
v*j taken as a whole. For the best in- 
dividual life is that best contemporary of the 
times, fcw Public History is a register of the 
successes,' disappointments and the vices, the 
follies and quarrels of those who engage in 



4:) 

contention for power." History measures well 
the pathology of sin in every four generations. 
And. the beauty of unmeasurable mercy ex- 
tended may be seeu in the last chapter of Job. 
Many parents if living" today would, 

Job's sons 

like Job, see their "sons' sons even 
four generations" capable. Henry Alford. D. 
D., poet, preacher, painter, biblical scholar, 
critic and philologist, was preceeded by five 
generations of clergymen of distinction, that 
filled an English church. In the Adams 1 and 
Emersons, of Massachusetts, and the Lee fam- 
Emerson, j] y f Virginia, are illustrations of 

and Lee J & 

Family fourth generation survivals. The 

Lincolns' and Grants' lost sight of divinity in 
the second generation, acknowledging only 
r^«t ._* luck or chance as they call it of this 

Grant and 

Lincoln world, consequently the third gen- 

eration will never be heard of. Owing to 
moral and physical infirmities this fourth gen- 
eration has not the fixity that characterizes a 
race or savage that can not be judged by the 
law, and from it springs a daughter whose 
maternal instincts physique and environment 



41 

necessitates the being- and spirit of love and 
harmony; but this spirit does not necessitate 
this individual to the jurisdiction of the gen- 
tleman pig*. 

44 Job was greater than before" and saw with 
satisfaction "sons and daughters to the fourth 
job's generation, and he gave his daugh- 

Daug-hters j- ers an equal portion with his sons." 
Montaigne, Shakespeare and Scott left daugh ■ 
ters to succeed their love. All the love of 
Byron lived in his daughters. The illegiti- 
mate daughter's biography can not 
be found, but if Byron had no love 
for the mother the burden of law and sin for 
this world was reduced and finished by this 
daughter. 









CHAPTER II. 

'II ( ) \V<i!l<

;i out my heart's cold :i -'r 

— Adelaid • ea. 

Daughters succeeding; this fourth fenera- 
tion perfect love or complete decadency, her 
• may be the inspired vitality and energy 

of a divine soul. Decadents there may be in 
human form that are barren of the harmoniz- 
ing energy that developes good for a soul or 
mind. 

Nordau and Tolstoi considered Wagner a 
decadent as his heroines are capable of being 
the redeemers of men, Wagner has pictured 
the truth of the law as divine g-enius unknow- 
ingly ever does. Wairner was the 
ner B ; ° 

one individual of his age. Tolstoi 
was so incapable he considered it wisdom to 

isolate himself from his wife and fifteen child- 
ren that he might show the world how man 



43 

though a Prince may live in humbleness. 
Wanting* nothing* may be divine, but this 
doctrine is full of fallacy in this age for a man 
that wanted such a family, his own ego 
divided his house. The wife is now dead and 
the care of his children has devolved upon 
others. His hideous dreams and creations of 
Tolstoi's death and sin are not for woman to 
creations read as they can not conceive divine 
man so gross. Woman does and should re- 
deem, and like Dante's Beatrice, beautiful 
Marguerite in Faust and Elsa in LohengTin, 
her personal sacrifice and love uplifts and 
does not transmit sin. If she loves her ideal, 
she can not transmit only harmony which is 
energy evoluted, and growth in grace. 
Have charity for this may be one of those 
"daughters of Zion," that bears the ills with 
a weak physique while she sings as Miriam of 
old: the requium of "The horse and rider o'er- 
thrown. The French saying, "she is so good 
a French she is good for nothing" might be 
saying- sa ^ Q f t ^ s WO man that succeeds 

the fourth generation. But this conception is 



44 

that child "except ome," trustfully, 

which answers the purpose of time better than 
tin 4 contraries that might be induced from be- 
ing bad enough for anything. In one of 
ikespeare's creations, and Charles Lamb's 
lauty and the Beast," a woman loves 
creature that astonishes the disinterested, but 
it was and is ever thus; all things seem 

_ . . mailable to the Divinity or love 

Divinity 

iM m:ln in man. Gloria in the Christian 

made no mistake when she said, "If men want- 
ed US to be good we would be good." The 
semblance of a weak use of divinity is expres- 
sed in the being that can not inspire the love 
of some good woman or child. 

►crates's philosophy was not in evidence 
when he married without loving Xantippe 
the scold; m^n lived on the fruits of his mind 
it all men's ears grow to their tunes'' or 
ego, his sons were the worst of decadents, 
ig us something was greater than 
Socrates. 

The knowledge of the law of mercy may be 
H in the beauty of the Coleridge family, 



45 
Senior, Junior and daughters. Old Dr. Arn- 
old, of Rug-by, and son Matthew, the apostle 
Matthew oi sweetne ss and light, and Mrs. 
Arnold Ward, niece of Matthew. 

Four generations mark the Hawthornes; 
Nathaniel's beautiful letters to Sophia his 
wife, showed the same devotion his mother s 
short married life pictured; Julian and Gwen- 
doline were preceeded by Nathaniel. The 
Van Rensselaers's of New York have a long 
line of worthy ancestors. 

The essence ef divinity in Aaron Burr was 

engrafted and perfected in his one beautiful 

daughter Theodosia; Burr was the 

Aaron Burr 

son of a Princeton divine, his grand- 
father was the great Jonathan Edwards, as a 
profligate in morals at eighteen; he disgraced 
virtues, and neglected opportunities. His 
abuse of environment and talents personified 
his own maxim; that' 'law is whatever is bold- 
ly asserted and plausably maintained." Queen 
Victoria as direct decendent of James I, should 
. w , not lessen that monarch's greatness; 

A Woman's & 

proposal being a law unto herself this re- 



46 

:ted figure-head proposed as she desired 
and the marriage was no disgrace to English 
soil; their nine children are more capable 
than the general average of monarchs. 

The Dumas* leave daughters to be loved. 

To the Bishop of Autun who had delivered 

.» 

> an address on the abolition of sla- 

D tunas 

Daughters very: Duma wrote he had only to 
go back four generations to find negro slaves 

among his ancestors. It is therefore not only 

for our brothers from a christian point of view 

A ~ . ,. that I think of vou but perhaps for 
A Decendent s J r i 

Letter some real relatives whom I still 

have on board the slave traders' vessels.* 1 
Duma perc respected his mother; Duma fils 
was a <nn>d father and protector of his daugh- 
ters. Four generations of great and learned 

D bankers preceded the Baroness Bur- 

Baroness r 

Coutts dettc Coutts, a woman with virtues 

not compatible with gold exchange. The 
daughters of the Vandefbilts must acknowledge 

some good in the parents of the first 

generation. The Cornelius of the family. 
The over pious parentage of Robert In- 



47 

gersoll, that broadly denied virtue or good in 
all life "except that which might be seen in a 
grave-yard," was the divinity of that great 
man. That they could see God or love within 
such narrow limits; was the strength greater 
than he that can see no God in anything, 
T „, His heritage to the world ; his daugfh- 

Daughters { ers w [\\ non-pros, only his virtues 
with their knowledge of the inward law of 
love: The same confusion or evils follow in 
the Bible to realized good; man can not tell 
where an evil to be, "thou my good" begins. 
Only an Ingersoll could be the child of God- 
fearing parents; he, as the cynosure of all 
eyes compares well with the weaknesses of 
children that had no such parentage, and re- 
calls that these are the first fruits wherein 
"His word shall not return to Him void."

CHAPTER III. 

The beautiful fares of five generations of 
remarkable women of genius mav be seen 
marking the law in extension of mere 
The grandmother of M. Vitte the Russian 

Minister of Finance, was a famous geologist 

and botanist and as the last Princess Dol- 
goruki, heired some of that fabulous 

A Dolg-oruki 

fortune of the Dolgorukis which 
had been mounting- up at compound interest in 
the Bank of England. Her daughter was 
Mme Elena Hahn the novelist called (by the 
great Russian critic Bel in ski) the "George 
Sand" of Russia. Mme Halm's two daughters 
were the famous Mme Blavatsky and Mme 
Jelihovskv the most voluminous and best 
known writer in Russia today. Her daughter 
is known to English readers as translator of 
Mme Blavatsky's most finished work, "The 
Caves and Jungles of Hindostan." A family 



49 

name has become extinct with each of these 

famous women. Blavatsky the generator of 

Theosophy gathered from generations of 

learned ancestry of Hindostan and 

Theosophy 

the Caucasus; she has not reveal- 
ed that k 'We get back our mete as we measure 1 ' 
more plainly than the Bible, and would incite 
us to see with eyes holden that which confuses 
instead of vouchsaving the trust and simplicity 
that becomes the easy life of the child. As 
the law may be seen to be fulfilled in this 
world that sins of the fathers that know the 
law is not carried beyond the "third or fourth 
generation" and "mercy is shown to children's 
children of them that love Him unto the fifth 
and eighth; we need not doubt but that 
"not one jot or tittle shall pass away until all 
is fulfilled;" not through our own devices, but 
"the spirit within;" "they serve that wait." 
This is the law in this land of liberty and good 
sense, ever faithfully declared and already 
written; prenatal influence can not change 
this declared written law. Women should 
know that they are wonderfully and fearfully 



50 

made; to bo the mothers of so few drunkards 
though seeing" man bereft of reason, 

;; u 1 ;; n so few that take life, though fath- 

ers must be warriors (?) and so few 

- : he 

a - is thousrfa compelled to bear 

'v tli the l 

and fear where others do not re- 

strain. Ibsen in the Doll's house portrays one 
woman's fear when she discovered herself. 
This succeeding beautiful daughter may 
diminish her liver and lungs, and misplace 
her womb and weaken her blood vessels by 
lacing; from these desired defects she reaps 
tumors and headaches and ills of the natural 
But if this daughter is drawn into the 
vortex of sin. the inward law makes her de- 
basement more apparent and she may finish 
the work beyond human redemption; hypo- 
crites of her mind's eve devoutly hold her sin 
up to the world to name though that perfect 
Go said %, in thee I see no sin." If our faith 
in divinity within guided our perverse natures 
and outward form and appearances, all would 
be capable; for kk IIe remembers that we are 
but dust." Fools are we that acknowledge we 



51 

can not make; but only mar the outward form 
that is expressed and lighted by the eternal 
unseen or inner beauty. 

Phillip Brooks, Washing-ton and Ceorg*e 
Elliott left no genius to succeed their perfec- 
tions: The fruits of their mind (which 
Socrates considered the best energy of life) is 
still be} T ond "these fourth generations that 
would devour the poor from off the land.'' 
Four generations of son's sons lost divinity 
and filled consecutively the drunkard's grave; 
the daughter that succeeded them was afflicted 
with a weak physique whose sorrow is that 
she could never harmonise with those around, 
her life will burn up the tares, no farther will 
they be carried; she reduced the burden. 

The unnatural appetite of the father of 

Edgar Poe killed the genius of the first son of 

a beautiful actress; this landscape 

Edg-ar Poe 

gardener of "Landor's Cottage" and 
creator of "The Raven" left pictures wherein 
divinity lost, formed a drunkard's gibberish.

CHAPTER IV. 

"Give me my robe, put on my crown, 

I have immortal iongitigti in me !" 

— CleopatrUu 
A woman's life was, is and ever shall be 
death to sin; as shown through her love and 
faith; as, in Mary, Elizabeth and Naomi, or no 
faith in herself, as in laughing- Sarah; or in 
her own rottenness, as Jesebel and others, or 
through her celibacy, as Miriam the Virgin 
Prophetess, or Jephthah's daughter, or her 
barrenness, as Deborah the beautiful singer, or 
Anna the faithful attendant of the Temple. — 
Indeed: "Woman is the mother of all living/' 
n , , , The difference in the harlots men- 

Kalini) and 

Jesebel tioned was that Jesebel sinned and 

denied the God of her being: for she said tk So 
let the Gods do to me and more also;" she 
i pie ted the line of decadency or sin, and 
went downward fc4 tO the dogs.' 1 There was no 
immortality in this woman. Kahab sinned, but 



53 

had great faith in Jehovah, she became the 
mother of Boaz and was an ancestor of David. 
The following* written by Dr. Quarles has 
just been received from the Athens of the 
south. Coming* at such a propitious time, it 
completes and is in perfect harmony with the 
spirit of the times; the written law is well 
interpreted by the poem, but without any evi- 
dence of the declared system of time. 

"jephthah's daughter." 
by dunlora. 

How then did Jephthah fulfill his vow ? By 
presenting- his daug-hter to the Lord, as a 
virgin celibate. This view is favored by 
several considerations, besides the fact already 
seen that the lang-uag-e bears this interpreta- 
tion. Every Israelite was familiar with the 
idea of the consecration, not only of places and 
thing's to the service of Jehovah, but of persons 
as well. They knew it as a duty in the case 
of every first-born son, who must be devoted, 
or else redeemed. They knew it as including- 
every descendent of Levi, whether of the 



54 

priestly family of Aaron or not. They knew 
it as applied to the Nethinims, the subjugated 

Canaanites; Num. 31:40 speaks of Wk the Lord's 

tribute" of captives as given to the pries 
They knew, finally, that not only men but 

women also were devoted to the special service 
of Jehovah. 

Finally, the readers of Ivanhoe will remem- 
ber that, in the closing- pages, Scott makes 
Rebecca devote herself to a life of celibate 
charity, and asserts that this had been prac- 
tised in Israel since the time of Abraham. 

This is a long- introduction to the few and 
simple verses which are to follow. 

Bath-Yiphtah, daug-hter of Jephthah, is the 
only name given to our heroine in the narra- 
tive. 

BATH-YIPHTAH. 

"Jehovah, God ! By Amnion Thou'rt defied. 
Their idol, Chemosh, claims the goodly land 
Thou gfavest us. Rebuke the impious foe, 
And strike him prostrate with this arm of mine. 
And Corban shall be thai which welcomes me 
Retaining home; it Barely Bhall be Thine." 

II Is now is heard; Jehovah smites the foe, 
And Jephthah with exaltanl tread comes back 
To greet the hearts that love him best; 



55 

When lo ! with streaming- hair and buoyant as 
The morn, his dayg-hter skips along- the path, 
And falling- on his neck, imprints upon 
His neck the sig-net of her love and joy; 
The first to g-ive him weleome. 

Sad at heart, 
He looks upon his fair, his only child: 
"Thou troublest me, my dangmter, for I've vowed 
Thee to the Lord." 

"Thou'st vowed me to the Lord ? 
So let it be ! Since Ammon is destroyed, 
Our people free, and on thy brow the crown 
Of triumph shines, let God's g-ood will be done; 
I am content. As thou immortal art, 
A hero by the prowess of thine arm, 
Thou need'st not sons of mine to hand thy name 
To ages yet to come; and I, bereft 
Of hope that from my womb the woman's seed 
Shall come to bruise the serpent's head, will moan 
My fate on Gilead's Mount, and then return 
To execute thy vow. Better the Lord's 
To be, than wife of any mortal man." 

With chastened soul the father wends his way 
To Shiloh's peaceful vale, and there prssents 
Bath-Yiphtah to the Lord: — a fleckless lamb, 
Unstained by touch of man, a vestal maid 
To tend the sacred lamp, to breathe a prayer 
For burdened hearts that seek Jehovah's shrine, 
To be an ang-el ministrant to souls 
That sig-h and need her g-entle help. 

God's priest 
Receives the lovely sacrifice, and on 
Her marble brow he puts the sacred dew, 
Anoints her with the holy chrism, and dyes 
Her ear and thumb and toe with offered blood, 
And calls her, "Holy to the Lord," her God. 

There she spends her days in pious deeds; 
A helper to the priests in all their work: — 
As leaders of the blind; as warners true 



56 



Of wandering souls; as wooing men to God; 

As pleaders' for the erring, begging 1 grac • 

For contrite haartsj as cheering those who light 

For truth and right: in each and every way 
E'er honoring God and doing good to man. 

As years pass b}-, and spring decks hill and vale 
With Leal and flower, there come to Shiloh's tent. 
From distant Dan this side Mt. Hermon's snows. 
From Simeon's southern slopes, Perea's hills, 
And fields that catch the breezes from the sea,— 
There come the fairest and the best of all 
The daughters of the land, and hold a feast 
In May with her, whose father's vow has made 
His only child a virgin bride to God.

CHAPTER V. 

THE BREATH OF LIFE. 

Woman in gaining- a truth is conscious of 
accord in her whole being; the breath which is 
of life or vital energy attesting to this fact 
being heavy or light, according to fear or 
peace engendered. This breath of the begin- 
ning agrees with the science of the first truths, 
that said so little and meant so much. 

Every part of the being may retain or lose 
its semblance, but when the breath of life 
leaves; no life is there. The breath is sus- 
tained by those elements beyond the knowledge 
of man. The blood can not energise even with 
electricity, the organs without it; and today's 
4 'heart failure" may not answer for divinity or 
love gone to the God that gave it. Tell me 
ye learned, when the breath of life is neces- 
sary to gestation ? And I will tell you when 
you may kill an animal or a God. The breath 
of life was not blown into the animals. The 



inward love of woman should be capable of 
turning the hearts of the fathers to the child- 
ren as this is the purest love of earth, and every 
contrary must be harmonized by the one 
knowledge of love. But we are full of all 
sorts of devices for God's creatures and are 
puffed up with our great globe-trotting feats. 
If He should come, we would be so far away 
from ourselves that we might desire for satis- 
factory return; an amendment probably to the 
first commandment: and then kk His arm being 
so shortened, " we must needs take up a collec- 
tion to insure Him knowledge of His predes- 
u th tmed imag-e. If the beauty of the 

Where inward law was appreciated as the 

outward law of the fashion and style: that 
"Like the wind goeth where it listeth."

babes ? We beseach ! In humility grant this 
trust to all thy children.

CHAPTER VI. 

Nordau states that ; 'Genius has the same fea- 
tures of the degenerate." Why should this not 
be ? In a world where evil is so closely allied 
to good, and the love perfected that made evil 
of no avail; but only the works of love and 
Features of tru ^ ^ ve > untrue lives carry their 
Genius owa rottenness; the heart of 

divinity "Ever speaking- through the mouth." 
In the features of Boccacio, Malibran, Bishop 
Butler, Goethe, Shakespeare and Jenny Lind, 
genius is legibly written. 

Genius, as Hans Holbein, Corregio, Lippo 
Lippi, Senior and Junior, picture features of 
genius, similar to those of Angelo's strong 
David; with the well lighted open coun- 
tenance, the mouth full, not thin and firm. If 
the light or eye is covered, you see the 
mouth which pictures wisdom and under- 
standing. Cover the mouth you see only 



60 

ht, which is darkness and beyond the ken of 
man. This light is the last expression to leave 
PeatlireBol the face in the hours proceeding 
Natural death death. And this, seems to penetrate 
and is lost, in comprehention of that universal 
\i>ion or light of the great beyond from 
whence it came. The mouth at this time tells 
none of the wisdom of its moulder, except in 
that perfect form and beaut}' of plastic art 
and kv The finish beyond which philosophy 
cannot go."

CHAPTER VII. 

NORDAU'S THOUGHTS. 

"But words are thing's, and a small drop of ink, 

Falling- like dew upon a thought, produces 
That which, makes thousands, perhaps millions think." 

— Byron. 

Schopenhauer may have been a decadent, 

as his father married a young- and beautiful 

woman who did not 'conceal her dislike for 

this eg-o; that thought he could edu- 

A Pessimist & ' & 

cate her, as his wife, up to his ideals. 
We can see the life of this contrary pessimist, 
and first son, that had all that wealth could 
desire, as the cause was productive; but Dr. 
Nordau does not conceive cause in the above 
or in the following*: "The Rossetties were" 
(not) ' 'degenerates.' 9 For they (the famous 
brother and sister) were the children of com- 
patible parentage. On pag-e 34 Nordau tells 
us sin is inherited; on page 382 he has out- 
grown that theory, but all theories change 
that are not based on the true law. The 



<>2 

mistake of Nordau is that he rendered his 
verdict as to genius or degeneracy of the fruit 
before he had studied the tree. 
Beings of harmony will try to perfect not 
destroy divinity. 

Ministers' sons and religious artists; as, 
Delia Robbia family, father and seven sons, 
and Gaddo Gaddi, Senior and Junior and 
grandsons of the past, show this preservation 
lent through primary discipline. But 
Ministers today the children of the clergy are 
homed in the small or large rectory, manse or 
parsonage; without trees, garden or animal-, 
their parents expecting God to care for them, 
though they are denied His natural tools. 
Ministers today marry when conscious of no 
affinity; fearing the temptations of this world, 
contraries increase notwithstanding religious 
restraint and appearances. Even a Rousseau 
with no parental restraint could see only Sin's 
law, to be delivered from. Who made 
original sin ? Hack of which was the ever good. 
When and how will you teach a child to con- 
ceive it ? Will it ever believe this as a child ? 



63 

Unless ye become as a child. Who is wise in 
his own conceit ? Has not this evil through 
teaching- been verified too long*? When God 
in man perfected sin even showing* that killing* 
the body could not destroy the perfect g*ood in 
man of the beginning*. Some are so well satis- 
fied with the "original sin" of the beginning*, 
that this virtue destroys their own foundation.

CHAPTER VIII. 
Nordau teaches unknowingly the doctrine of 
the great Teacher, that would have teachers, 
preachers and evangelists sent out as individ- 
uals; he clearly states in Dryden's words: ' k The 
people's judgement are; not always true, th e 
most may err as grossl}- as the few. " Organiza- 
tions kill the individual law and are demoraliz- 
ing to the home and family. The enthusiasm 
or restraint of the individual leader is only 
partially known by the herd; Christ said: 
"Back of Caesar (or all earthly strength) is a 
greater than Caesar." There is no account 
of any organization, made during his adminis- 
tration on earth. The numerous organiza- 
tions in time, will individualize the one great 
body; man in God. 









CHAPTER IX. 

The religions of today with their law and 
creed, exact greater tythes than the old Jewish 
law; also, more than anything- in nature. 

Nature's The bein g" in harmony with the 
Law divinity, that thought, wrote and 

made it good; has the same strength as the bee 
that carries burdens of sweetness and life to 
the flowers that return these same gifts in 
kind. All devices of man come to naught; 
England, that holds the golden sceptere over 
the nations of the earth, is surfeited with gold. 
The refusal of other nations to feed her, would 
render her gold valueless. 

This greatest of evil the getting of money 
falls fallow, and of no power; notwithstanding 
the machinations of rich or poor man; but 
time's hidden treasures ever tempers, the wind 
'to the little flock' and reveals to the poor 
man that the rich is not in his way. 



66 

When man can carry his money in his mind, 
and not in his heart he will be as void of 
offence, as a cat that can take the warmest and 
place by the hearthstone; that we are con- 
scious of his, the aforesaid bipeds bright plum- 
and belong-ing-s, is due to his apparent ego 
measurements of himself, without his divine 

- dimensions. Let thy Thou, lay 

A man tor 

a'thaj aside his accoutrements and he is 

a Thou or ik a man for a' that." The beautiful 
blue jay never destroys through envy, any- 
thing- more beautiful than himself; the bird 
paradise, and pretty poll with no soul, are 
unmolested by its kind; they are only de- 
stroyed by those that would have their plumes 
the delicacy and coloring- of which is as little 
fit to adorn their being-, as a tarantula that of 
the elephant. Consistencies jewels are only 
l n well by those that have a heart. 
For wholesale blessing-s are enjoyed by just 
and unjust; the rich need no protection, 
they have the full of the earth and can g-o 
whither they will. Why should strong- man 
or nation bar their doors ? The same mote- 



67 

pickers that followed Christ are still walking- 
(with the natural body) in His footsteps. 
The ill success of the good man, may not be due 
to lack of divinity in him but may be due to this 
lack in his fellow man, that destroys, and 
makes waste the places for those that live by 
sweat of the brow.

CHAPTER X. 

The aborted French nation has dest< 
divinity, till divinity destroys just as in the in- 
dividual. This as civilized nation, and Ireland 
have little respect for divinity and woman. 
It may be the little the latter had, 

Irish and J 

French nation was t:) foe subservient to that indif- 

ent queen whose scepter they imagine should 

be held by kings. But their form and inward 
. has become confused and their artistic 
lius, wit and soul i^ migrating or scattering 

to other land- as pillars of fire for other 

peoples.' 1 Until their heroes of 

Law of ■ r 

blood and sin become daughters, to 
feet a spiritual love, evils will confound, 
while they astonish the wicked generation, 
but their places shall be no more. His seal 
of divinity in woman is upon the places of 
decadency or perfection, 



69 

"What can that man fear who takes care to 

please a Being- that is able to crush all His 

adversaries." How often was the 

Jean Valjean 

good of Jean Valjean destroyed by 
the merciless herd, only by the way-side 
through the single individual did he receive 
the needed succor. Will the mind's eye of 
divinity in g-enius always be ahead of God's 
creatures. The spirit of Moses, Hug-o and 
Shakespeare have answered "In his own time" 

"In nature there's no blemish but the mind, 
None can be called deformed but the unkind." 

Deformities appear when man asumes to 
order other's charities, destroying* that divinity 
of him whose right knowledg-e is to "owe no 
man nothing," that his divinity for g-ood may 
not be destroyed in this world and that he 
may render taxations to state or Caesar and 
to "God the thing's that are God's". This 
admonition relieves us of trusts and makes the 
g-overnment or power "of the people, by the 
people and for the people." Why should not 
the g-overnment supply railroads and vessels for 
transportation? Strong- men to perfect roads? 



70 

Agricultural departments and mechanical de- 
partments to be one continued round of good and 
supply to those that toil ? The stars in their 
circling" course, spring and winter, with their 
Truiv eYer returning benefits and rest is 

Governed t^e only type of the truly governed. 
The energy of a Flammarion may unfold the 
law as in Urania; of the well-governed, en- 
Cammiiie circling, circling life-giving, irre- 
Fiammarion sponsible constellations and suns, 
minimize to this world's law of cause and effect, 
rest or death and life; and then the governed 
Thou, or individual within the municipality, will 
be upheld by state; state, by nation, nation by 
nations, all parts of the one great body "That 
ever shall be."

CHAPTER XI. 

They sa} r riddles foretell an epoch of greater 
intellectuality, but the following* may assist 

Epoch of t ^ ie ti mes an( l are riddles or misti- 
Riddies -g ers or ,iy to t he obtuse. Why 

did Christ always find man? Why was woman 
found in the rig'ht place when he needed help ? 
Why did he always protect them ? Why 
is our public press a bulletin board of criminal- 
ity and contention for power ? Because the 
public feed on them. Who made brothels, 
harems, saloons ? The people and men that 
need them. Has man been provided with 
little coal in this great world? Too little 
wheat ? Too little land ? Too little water ? 
and too little lig-ht? Divinity within has 
indeed become small with so little, and we 
poor creatures must feed on ourselves. The 
question 4t Where art Thou?" And "What 



72 

wilt Thou?" Is the energy of this hydra- 
headed monster of the many organizations, 

that ignorantly would have all, impelling a 

more defined system of government of, and by 
and for these cosmopolitan and diversified 
United States. To be taxed to keep bounties 
and pensions for the recipients ever increasing- 
demand, is not justice to our bouiitiless poor; 
but underneath our commercial devices, finan- 
cial interests, missionary interest is the leven 
"I am' 1 that makes the knowledge of His law 
and love plain.

CHAPTER XII. 

THE SPIKIT OF THE TIMES. 

The knowledge of even the form of the law 
gave to the sensual Jew the characteristics 
that makes him the superior to this day in use 
of outward forms and devices. "They en- 
riched the world's contemporaneous mind and 
amplified the picture of mankind." But other 
lands developed good in their time (though 
no High Priests had charge of their histories, 
and wars destroyed them.) 

Cain loved a woman from an unknown 
nation, "and she gave their first son Enoch to 
God" and he became the father of a host of 
honorable men; among them, were the first 
artists and musicians. Melchizedek whose 
father and mother and place of 
birth was unknown, was called the 
great King of Peace and King of Salem, he 
met great Abraham, returning with the spoils 



Melchizedek 



gotten from the pursuit of confederate kings 
and prepared a repast of bread and wine to 
refresh the conquerer. In this case "The less 
A.bram) is blessed hy the better," though a 
man from an unknown nation.

CHAPTER XIII. 
Time never displayed greater spirit of evil 
than in these days in which fornications, 
murders, and adulteries abound. "Calibrans 
there are that has that in them in ' 'which 
good natures could not abide to be with, ,? and 
"which any print of goodness will not take." 
Has pearls been thrown before swine ? That 
we should be the parents of undisciplined 
fredom's graceless slavery?' v No profit we 
have for learning their language." As the 
spirit or genius of the times, is far beyond the 
herd or "Calibrans of the Island;" if our faces 
were not unlike these Calibrans, we could not 
distinguish man from beast, and if we were 
not unlike, we could not distinguish one man 
r , from another. France has more 

I^aw of 

France i aw than any other nation in the 



76 

world but the hundred thousand laws can not 

be proportioned to man that contains his own 
mystery of infinite diversity in action which 
can only be judged by his divinity, his best 
counterpart. Judge, court, or jury, can not 
these days meet out true justice. Though we 
have devised law like texts in Galations which 
1 entails thirty-six distinct damnations, one 
sure if another fails." But fail 

Forced law 

they do except in lk what God has 
joined tog-ether," which is that love that makes 
the written law plain of the beg-inning- and 
which is with us always and ''which taketh 
away the sins of the. world" and does away 
and confounds man's devices. Consider the 
man thai does the greatest harm to the divine 
body. The soloonist, judge him, ye cannot. 
His money, his wife, his children and his home 
that within that renders man's law power- 
before "Thy shall nots,' 1 which pronounces 

JohoRidd'8 a11 £°° d - We haVe m0tlC - V Wllich 
with our wisdom falls far short of 

the return from that divinity in first fruits. 

Great thick headed John Ridd understood and 



77 

opened a harvest with that charity and love, 
becoming the genius of "Lorna Doon." But 
millions of dollars go into towers and red tape 
until the last end which is mere pennies is 
worse than the first from lack of faith. A 
man in Chicago appropriated some eighty 
Reii ious thousand dollars of religious money. 
Money The religious body and its repre- 

sentative journals and losers so condemned 
this act, that a son who loved this father, 
exhausted all available resources to return the 
money value, failed, and was driven to suicide 
after wandering in beggary and disgrace. 
Surely man is making "the temple a den of 
thieves." Our rights ill become us when that 
rich but lowly man could say to the thief 
"Thou shalt be with me in paradise." Man 
can net steal or destroy only love or divinity; 
all else belongs to God. When man with 
money can not see thieves and having life 
does not provoke any one to take it, and for- 
giving sins in our hearts though not destroying 
souls with our tongue, when we truly 
believe as we will, that God or love in and 



7S 

through man can better man (whose sins arc 

to the fourth generation) and relieve woman 
that must suffer them, then the Thou shalt 
nots will harmonize with a hig-her divinity. 
No line now can he drawn between the 
church of the Gods and other modes of enter- 
tainment, and for this reason we must 
kk Find tong-ues in trees, books in the running- 
brooks, sermons in stones and g-ood in every- 
thing-. ° For we are simply nearing- that time 
when we will accept the strength of old men 
and young* ministers with that divinity that is 
., - . . the "wisdom of babes and suck- 

2vo faith upon 

the earth ling's;" having- no faith in the 
development or devices of earthy reason.

CHAPTER XIV. 
"Man in His own image" is made thus to 
this day. He makes that which his own love 
in Ms w ^ ever make. How near that is 

ownimag-e j- Q Divinity can not be answered 
here. But it does not disapprove the history 
of that law that cannot go beyond the begin- 
ning*. That my visavis should be measured, 
by ministers, lawyers, and what not, is 
injustice to the unseen. Unlike things 
should not be compared, neither can 
you live better by destroying the unlike. "A 
horse gets up on its forelegs first and a cow 
directly opposite." But that they get up at 
all anyway, to proclaim their horseship or 
cowship, is that they were made so. Women 
are not needed in school boards or municipali- 
ties if "man alone" is capable of caring for 
his own; neither should she have charge of 



80 

one-hundred or five children; if she 18 
more capable than he, of disciplining them. 

Poor woman how soon she fails with 
all the responsibility of teaching- and 

subduing- these animal spirits that have no 
vent even in a live minut 

The old way of the animal strength of a prin- 
cipal for the large rooms rilled with animal 
playfulness, and woman having only the 
small charge of a recitation now and then, 

Hei -mil was t ' ie ^ etter f° r &M« But every 
thereof time a woman opens her mouth to 

behold her divinity in "the hand that rocks 
the cradle rules the world," I sink five feet, 
something deeper, into the earthy. The 
largest women and men ever known, were 
those of the scriptures that can not be dis- 
covered as having half a chapter to an}* one 
phase of their personality. The one that 
compelled a man to "work like Jehu° conveys 
with her name knowledge of her vile being-. 
There never was such a time of picture taking 
and patent medicine truths, but these are only 
the outside ego. 



81 

Yes, man was made good 4i in his own 
image;" but how much he has conceived, look 
at this strange age; thousands of Salvation 
Army men going up and down hunting for 
evil, women in all sorts of leagues hunting 
evil. In fact they can see no good except in 
their own charitable ego. And what have 
we for our pains ? Rumors of war and dissen- 
sions, bastards instead of orphans in our 
charitable homes, soldiers with widowed 
wives, judges a prey to justice, murderers 
without provokers and naked images but no 
naked babies. We need not wonder at our 
confounded judgements and vanities. Are we 
more vicious than the sparrow, or any animal 
g-uided by instinct ? Are we not made as good 
as the sparrow ? Our law based on the com- 
mandments, or the law He did not do away 
with, was the best guide to the best contem- 
porary nations of the past. We are no better, 
in fact we know only the a b c of the first law, 

That divinity has as many heads as life we

supernatural, need only words of man to con-

CHAPTER XV. 

BEGINNIx\ T G OF LIGHT. 

"Cans't thou bind the sweet influences of 
Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Cans't 
bring- forth Mazzoroth in his season ? Or 
cans't thcu guide Arcturus with his sons?" 

There is a time and law for everything 
except Divinity whose light developes His 
own law. The star of Bethlehem was marked 
by astronomers only once and may never 
appear again within that universe penetrated 
bj r the eye of man. Suns whose light if 
blotted out now would not reach us for 30,000 
years may not be the light we need. We have 
been partakers for ages of life properties as 
ozone and argon that we seem to have only im- 
bibed within the last quarter of a century. 
There is tv law celestial and a law terrestial," 
man must look to divinity for conceived ignor- 



84 

atice with the knowledge of God is better than 
conceived education without God. "Knowl- 
edge and restraint" reveals to Nordau the 
strength for his own protection. But 

this very strength in his own ego is 
the weakness that can not see anything be- 
1 I himself of unseen eternals that become 
accidentally (we imagine) the first fruits and 
wisdom of the smallest of these. The law is 
so plain "that a fool may not err therein." 
If our eyes were not holden I am sure we could 
see the soul separated (b\ T the law 

:s holden 

or love) from the body the third day 
after death. The fair form that Socrates saw, 
said "the third day hence to Phthia shalt thou 
come." We grant surprise that Socrates knew 
the third day the change should be made; but 
what chivalry to acknowledge the alluring 
maid. We follow blindly this law in 
not interring our dead until three days after 
death, assuming the knowledge that the 
natural body is nothing without the life, 
which is again somewhere and we not con- 
scious of it being here as we were unconscious 



85 
of it being* anywhere before here. "Dust 
thou art to dust returnest was not spoken of the 
soul." Death is only the return of the ancient 
mariner light, from the greener shores of 
that celestial oblivian, that carries the I am 
^ - ' , in its onward flight to its Own. 
A true physician dreams, sleeps and eats 
with his patients; his works are for the better- 
ment of mankind. His tools, expensive and 
useless to the unskilled and ignorant. His very 
expensive books, through which untiring 
energy has traced the minutest vein and nerve 
to its fountainhead, all these are 

rare books 

sealed books to those that have not 
been disciplined in reason. Indeed no man 
works as near his maker as a conscientious 
physician. 

Lack of reason employs quackery and 
its nostrums, with as little compunction 
as it swallows a gold pill or gold brick, 
swallowing of them all or either with the 
surety they will conceive gold. But many 
w 7 ere lost on the other side of the world, before 



86 

the reason of the herd, admitted the world 
was round. 

But physicians work Successfully only when 

in harmony with nature's demands. They 

cannot make a law that will lengthen or vi- 
talize that oblongata, the vital point or knot 
which loosens the hold here from eternity. 
They have reasoned that vital energy and 
strength of mind is shown by the convolutions 
of the brain. But brain convolutions are as 
variable as faces, whereas, 

Facts remain and theories are refreshed, 
when we compare the small brain of a sheep 
that can not do anything w T ith the small brain 
of Gambetta, that relieved a kingdom, or the 
larger brain of the elephant and whale, 
is compared with Cuiver and Webster, it was 
Poe that stated many men with inconceiva- 
ble light and perceptive powers, k 'are born 
to blush unseen/' etc. Comparisons will 
not give us cause of life, which thousands 
of years as a day, have been perfecting. Man 
may see the law creates facts but can not 
see this subsisting power and unseen eternal 



87 

great "X am that I am." "His ancient word 
said to be lost in Tartary," will be the same 
"I am," that found, and discovered itself 
and the law to Josiah. — "In His own time," 
Divinity reincarnated accidentally may discov- 
er this antiquity among- the truths and haunts 
of the east.

CHAPTER XVII. 

Though "Mizpah" was written many days 
ago, this is my last explanation. Many a slip 
may be inserted (with a proof) into a pamph- 
let until, alas, it becomes a book. That 
Samson should not have any physical infir- 
mities, as lie had immortal God fearing- 
parents, the mother, (the one that carries the 
physical infirmities,) Manoah's wife was 
ordered not to eat any unclean thing- or drink 
any wine. No one has ever doubted Samson's 
God given energy, indeed love is energy. It is 
ise providence that allows woman to vindi- 
herself, for prone to physical suffering- she 
will improve her being" and is relieved of the 
sin of n<>t tr an smiting of that she is not 
conscious spiritually. 

The mind of ages allows a woman to say 
that man has no conception of prenatal influ- 
ences -not being a woman.) Woman has ever 



91 

seen herself through love and the eyes of man. 
Contraries develop contraries though the 
body or the mind may not suffer, yet mere 
sacrifice from lack of divine love shirks res- 
ponsibility and leaves the weak to carry 
burdens from which angels shrink. 

Woman must respect her own divinity. 
Thousands of dollars are used in the pro- 
tection from justice, beings that may leave 
four generations carry their sin. A woman 
would suffer and reap from the cause all 
through her life. It is not meet these weak 
ones should be the tools of heartless fools and 
conceited idiots. Faces that say There is 
no God or love, are too weak to assure those 
aspirations for betterment that gives to life 
harmonizing peace and hope. 

The hypothesis that a noted author based 
all his theories on was that to be born 
shandy right and named right relieves 
hypothesis th e being of misfortune. It 
will also serve a woman' purpose; though 
the author does not admit of her en- 
joyment of even the hypothesis. But I 



92 

wrily believe, through the law and name put 
upon us by man, we have been "Nicodemused 
into nothing-." From our state you would 
imagine the law had been made for peace and 
preservation of mankind, but we arc what we 
are, and "many things impossible to their 
thought, have been by their need, to full 
perfection broug-ht. 1 ' Woman will not reason 
as man; indeed, she does not have to, if she 
succeeds in business (as she does) it is due to 
her accepting the unseen with little reason, to 
illustrate, every assertion herein contained 
v. as reasoned after making-. Being- con- 
scientious my words were measured and 

^hed and double weighted, to gave full 
light, for fear some great strong* man mig-ht 
outweigh with his reason, and relieve the 
unseen. And now again I am g'oing* to try to 
put a stronger light on a subject that I know 
has only had a scintilla of lig-ht thrown on it; 
which is this, "God and reason made the law" 
and the few words kk Let us make man," im- 
])'.; :s and allows man to reflect or conceive 

is own image" with the sanction of God 



93 

with man, in evolution and development of 
man, just as "The images which Dante em- 
ploys speak for themselves." Man, conceal 
thj^self behind this assertion; or, conceive thy- 
self before this assertion. "Darwin's assent 
of man," with his thousands of words is void 
of meaning* when you compare and can gen- 
erate light into the few words of divinity which 
many times have to be repeated by us "seven 
times seven," to conceive immortality. Mon- 
taigne has said you do not know a thing 'till 
you can tell it. The above is the last of 
twelve efforts I have made to convey the 
thought in its true light, • > 



His measurements can not be conceived by our 
short existence here, as many thousand years 
generated a perfect man for earth. The 
minimum or lowest ebb of animal reasoning 
becomes the maximum or genius far ahead of 
the herd. "For he will not always be at 
varience with his own." The unseen or genius 
has ever been with reasoning man. Moses 



94 

was the unseen with the selfish Pharoahs. 
Christ was and is the unseen with the greatest 
cg-o and the then Caesars; when we know our- 
selves we will all be geniuses or members of 
one great body the perfect God and Christ.

CHAPTER XVIII. 

Whether man is becoming- more spiritual or 
woman greater physically can be only judged 
by the times; man now parts his hair in the 
middle and the compass of his voice is several 
notes higher; he too, allows woman to do 
most of the reasoning- in her way, Strange, 
it almost appears, "the first shall be last" and 
"all things will be new." 

Nature begins to weed out polygamy as she 
rises. The great king of beasts, the lion, 
void of all moral consciousness is a better 
monogomist than man that has the written 
law for a guide. Swedenborg imagined he 
would generate supreme affection and "con- 
jugal felicity," in heaven unseen wisdom 
guided and relieved the woman that jilted 
him of a shade, that could not have been one 
with any thing on this earth. But if men, 



% 

shutting their eves, women tearing out the 
instincts of the deepest soul, will plunge into 

their ill conceived cages, the fault is with the 
people that plunge in and not the cages. And 
one man said he thanked God that marriages 
without supreme affection were cages of red hot 
iron. Olive Schriener gives us a still sadder 
picture in the "African farm," where the 
conceived child of no father is imp of the devil, 
while the child of a home and parents is a 
darling* angel, beneath heaven's own light. 
Here is the confusing law, before the natural 
and written law that should be ever engrafted 
in the coming generations. 

But the God of love, of the beginning in man, 
may accomplish all that love in Christ or God 
in man did when he healed for earth sins 
earthy deseases, as sore eyes, palsy, evil 
spirits, cripples and wasting diseases. Dis- 
eases induced from accident and climatic 
epidemics are not mentioned separately as in 
Pharoah 4 s time, these seem tempered for 
the times. The man afflicted with devils 
had the same spirit that was good after 



97 

the evil spirit went downward into the 
swine. The law that formed the animals 
retaines the same good as in the beginning". 
The beautiful Arabian horse through man's 
preservation devices may be bred to develop 
of the law more muscle, speed and weight, but 
back again (to whence, we know not;) the 
type returns to its first original beauty, and 
benefiactor, of that God in man, that had 
"dominion over the animals." Even our 
words are only mind servers. Protection 
weakens the strong and does not protect the 
weak. Unions are only a separation against 
themselves. Did Christ name the rock upon 
which he and his church was built ? Maybe 
it was the individual law that questions, 

"Lovest thou me" of the spirit within of 
the strongest ego, yet weakest faith of a 
disciple of the great body. 

A contemporary of though no worse than the 
times has no faith except in money, but if He: 
with man conceived his image good, man with 
Him must make it srood.

CHAPTER XIX. 
From much that has been written in little, 
the hypothesis may be drawn that each of the 

six days that "the Lord did his work/' Gen. I, 
was a thousand years and the day that he 
rested was the thousand years that was per- 
fected in rest. Today Saturn and Jupiter are 
void and without form k4 the waters must be 
gathered together M The rocks and hvro- 
gliphics on recently discovered Assyrian 
monuments corroborate scriptural history only 
to the deluge. We have no writings earlier 
than Homer who lived about 400 years before 
Herodotus, (who was 484 B. C„) allowing- 
the latter to trace events to Cyrus, 583 B. C, 
The great Josephus contemporary almost 
with Christ states that it is doubtful whether 
these traditions o\ Homer were preserved 



99 

throug-h letters and writing's, or their mem- 
ories preserved through song, for where the 
Greecians lived 10,000 destructions have over- 
taken them. If a woman's count takes off a 
hundred years or so before or after, the argu- 
ment remains the same. Man has no history 
of man before the beginning- in Gen. I, that had 
dominion over the g-ood that was given him. 
Max Mueller states: The first man could not 
be a savage, for if he had murdered 

Max Mueller 

his children we should not be alive 
and if he had eaten his fellowmen, if there 
were any to eat, we should not be alive, and 
if he had disregarded certain laws of nature 
probably we should not be alive. And no 
one has succeeded in proving that after man 
had been created a new evolution or creation 
of man took place. The when and where, of 
the beginning-, is not of as much importance 
as the "I am," of the first man that we are 
still perfecting*. Thoug-h we can not find one 
being*, or g-eneration of man, knowing-, or 
living* the perfect life, except Christ, since 
the third chapter of Genesis was written. 



LOO 

But as we near that divinity a thousand years 
may pass even to us as <-i day. 

Our wisdom of many words have become 
like a virago's face, no divinity in it, but God 

unseen, will care for his own, though torment- 
ed like Job was, our faith need not be shaken. 
His irony like a two edged sword, still does 
duty in the words, "No doubt ye are the 
>ple and wisdom will die with you." 
As paganism was above heathenism and 
. . , Confusianists. Buddhists and To- 

Tear day temism, are above the fetish wor- 
ship of Airier,, so will be the twentieth cen- 
tury above others, when we have that 
knowledge of life, the Alpha and Omega 
which is and was pronounced good, for the 
virtues in the world has proven 

"Th<- quality of mercy is not strain'd. 

It droppetfa as the gentle rain from haaYfefl 
Opon ill*- place beneath : it is twice ble 

It | m that tfiv«'-> ami him that takes: 

'TU tniffhtesl in tin- migjhtest : it becomes 

hroded monarch better than 1 1 i — crown: 
Ili— Of temporal power." 

Win should the thought be 80 faraway from 
;;s father ? Will the within ever reach the per- 



101 

faction of the beyond ? Methinks the Lord's 
prayer and that one song- of the angels, 
"Holy, Holy, Holy," which wer£, and art, and 
ever shall be, relieves our fear. We can still 
wait His own time.

CHAPTER XX. 

OBITUARV. 

Having no desire to writ" anything more on 

this subject and fearing- death through this 
pamphlet I hereby write my own biographical 
obituary, while I have life to give it enthusi- 
asm; a power unknown even to a generous 
death, that allows you sometimes, both \« ur 
head and your heart. And again Pisanio 
like "might kill thee at the hear: and also 
leave the head off," have reasons for think 
I was the first child of my parents (observe 
the hypothesis.) My time has been given to 
humble arts as house keeper, dish-washer, 
baby tender, doll fixer, office and telephone 
boy, shopping- agent, school teacher, gas 
filter, reporter, soap maker, wood carver, 
picture hanger and painter, of the names and 
also their unseen beauties. Many beautiful 



103 

melodies, too, have been 4 'poured into the 
porches of my ears," hut my interpretation of 
them has never touched in others a responsive 
chord. Ill fact all these thing's done after a 
fashion of my own, conceived me as a mere 
'•jack of all trades" and commerce; could 
convey flowing* robes in beautiful coloring*, 
put bouffant draperies in picturesque French 
styles. But with all these undertaking's there 
was always something* in the makeup, that 
would like Balaam's ass, g*o no farther; a 
something* unsaid; an unfinished end that 
gives a comi daisical appearence to the whole 
matter, just like this mule, thoug-h well and 
decorously cut, you feel as thoug"h if you 
would give one jerk to the ear, he could laugii 
and wink the other eye, mule though he be. 
This defect I hope will only be discernable in 
the preface or obituary. These stand as a 
sort of Mizpah and earthworks for the home- 
in g* of the many darts of the well armed. 
The body of the book escaping* and retaining* 
the heart and head of every life in it. — The 
immortal part which I have used whenever 



104 

possible, as having doubts of my earthy ego, 

"not knowing what I shall l» 
The thing is so ordered (out of compliment 

to the imagined reader,) that the largest part 
I have desired to write, remains unwritten. 
"Great wits jump;" this law was not purj> 
ly followed to be great, but owing to that 
charitable and misery loves company instinct, 
which hereby grants the reader the privilege 
of finishing- every chapter according to his 
own knowledge of latest rules of thought, 
tunes and compass.

A COMPILATION OF LEFT-OVERS. 



In the book Urania published years ago and 
mentioned herein, may be seen Flatnmarion 
conceiving* the celestial wonders that should 
be patterns for the surrounded Thou or God 
in man that is ever working- his wonders to 
unfold. A Paris correspondent, Feb. 27, 1897, 
reveals the Spirit of the times. 

NIGHT REDUCED TO TWO MINUTES. 

****:£*** 

With a cinematograph M. Flammarion took 
his stand one nig-ht in the center of a fine 
stretch of landscape, and left the moving- 
earth to register the heavens on the film of 
the instrument. He took thousands of proofs 
on the same film, and made a series of photo- 
graphs showing- the gradual going down of 
the sun, the coming- out of the stars, the ris- 
ing- of the moon, its motions during- the night, 
and the entire movements of the ever chang- 
ing astronomical bodies from darkness to dawn, 
the whole scene of the star lit heavens trans- 



fcrred to the film, ending with the breaking 

of the day, and the chasing away of the stars 
by the rising of the sun in the morning. * * 
With the cinematograph be caused to be 
shown in the theater a picture of the earth as 
seen by the inhabitants of the moon, if there 
be any. Ingenious Flammarion constructed a 
huge globe, on which was marked all the 
various seas and countries of the earth in 
exact geographical positions. Then, aimin^- 
his instrument at this globe he caused it to 
revolve by means of mechanism for the pur- 
pose. Behind this globe Flammarion had 
placed a representation of the firmament as it 
appears at night, and then illuminated the 
globo in the manner that the sun does the 
earth. Then the globe was set revolving-, 
showing the entire revolution of the world in 
two minutes. Xo better means of illustrating 
the wonders of the heavens and the method of 
the earth's re vol ui tons have yet been devised, 
and Flammarion has won additional laurel 
wreaths. 

4% Sav unto them, 

I am hath sent me unto you." 

In the juxtaposition of ancient law and the 

revealed law, the perfect man John, 4i a man 

so great was never born of woman' 1 preceded 



the perfect revealed brother, Christ, "which 
was and is ever with us, though the world 
knew it not." We can not measure the time 
of the "generations that shall pass away be- 
Temple of f° re a ^ * s fulfilled," though "those 
God that knew him were continualh' in 

the Temple (the temple of God in man) prais- 
ing* and blessing- God." Our greatest help 
comes from meditation and research, but the 
more organizations man conceives for better- 
ing, not destroying man, the greater intellec- 
tuality. The more searching individuals the 
more of God and less of man. For this 
peace or kingdom of God does not come by 
observation, being only conscious of our own 
temple or body. But His elect have always 
been on the earth, they are the children 
of God-fearing parents and are as plainly 
marked as the "Strulburgs or Immortals" of 
Swift. "They are the righteous that are 
never forsaken nor their seed begging bread." 
Spencer with this great divinity is able to 
Herbert philosiphize up and down the whole 
spencer earth. But he admits of being 
satiated owing to prescribed narrow limits of 
his God-fearing parents, that gave him such a 
strong foundation. Mark well, though it 
darkens these pages for the purpose of making 



the light stronger. The hideous face of the 
Philadelphia boy murderer who glories in the 
fact u my grand-father killed his man my fa- 
ther his and I mine." The last victim an in- 
nocent child. This sin developed boy was the 
son of parents acknowledging the law k4 to the 
third generation of those that hate me/ 
ik For who sayeth he lovcth me and hateth his 
brother the truth is not in him." An individ- 
__ .. ual may mark the "Rake's progress 

Hogarth 8 - * & 

Unca upward" but succeeding* generations 

mark his progress downward. For "what 
must be shall be % to them that hate lne, ,,, and 
that which is a necessity to him who struggles 
is little more than choice to him who is wil- 
ling." For the unseen is ever relieving the 
burdens of those who trust Him. 

The humility of the south in knowing they 
may have been in the wrong, the isolation of 
the north from them, and taxation without its 
full benefits, adds insult to their humility to 
place the negro in places of trust, over the 
little that remains unless we are sure they 
have neared divinity with more rapidity than 
the white brethren who have had so many 
more years of civilization in wars, peace and 
contention. Booker Washington and Paul 
Dunbar, children of God-fearing parents may 



be exceptions, but the south, heavily bur- 
dened, without money, have been sustain- 
ed. In hamlet and city without ostentation, 
they have worshipped the God of destroy- 
ing- man. He has given wisdom to these 
children. The energy and intellectuality of 
certain districts is stealing* over the whole 
nation. Lynching- is the child and undisci- 
plined orphan of helpless widowed mothers. 

There is one eg-o greater than the whole 
arm) 7 — the Emperor of Germany. In France 
capricious the arm J is grater than the people, 
France whose only fear, is that they have 

not enoug-h people to supply the army ? or 
not enoug-h army to destroy the people ? Di- 
vinity in woman is refusing- to propigate this 
aborted people. In other countries money is 
of more value than man ? Man greater than 
his elder brother Christ ? When James and 
John saw that Christ was not received by the 
Samaritans they asked "Lord wilt thou com- 
mand fire to come down from heaven to con- 
sume them even as Elias did but he rebuked 
them and said ye know not what manner of 
spirit ye are of," The speech of Josephus at 
the sieg-e of Titus may have been greater but 
these few words reveal more. Still disciples 
ca not acknowledg-e the '*I am" that is ever 



within for good. Time has been given to 
destructive man. Joseph US was lost in won- 
der discovering the same number of years 
existed between the first building and first 
destruction, and the last building and last 
destruction, of the one temple at Jerusalem. 

With the earthy dust or lusts of the flesh 
does man contend. kk Cursed is the ground for 
your sake (or g"Ood). This is the evil of him 
that hates me unto the third generation. 91 

Women contends in physical suffering- and 
labor. "For in sorrow shalt thou bring forth 
children." Throug-h love not transmitting- 
Types of the her sins as she conceived great per- 

one temple— , * 

Man. feet man John who was quickly fol- 

lowed by elder brother spiritual man Christ. 
Intellectual man may be chang-ed quickly to 
spiritual man. The coming two thousandth 
year points to some definite g-ood for those 
who wait.
